How To Think Positive

Learning how to think positive is easy if your mindset is already positive to begin with. We are going to outline a simple method that is going to retrain your brain so that you will always think positive without forcing yourself to.

The first step to learning how to think positive is to repeat the new positive belief over and over to yourself throughout the day. This can be done silently in your mind, out loud, or out loud in front of a mirror. Be passionate and highly emotional when verbalizing the new belief. Really believe and feel that what you are saying is true. Intensity is key. Repeating new beliefs briefly yet intensely can be much more powerful, or as powerful, as repeating them hundreds of time in a flat, unemotional way.

Examples of basic positive beliefs that you can recite are:

* “I am a winner!”

* “I am the best at what I do!”

* “I am always loved!”

* “I am so beautiful!”

Of course feel free to add to these. Make sure your affirmations are easy to remember so you can constantly repeat them throughout the day without problems.

Keep repeating the new belief until it feels like it is the truth. This can take anywhere from a to a month or longer. It really depends on how deeply embedded the belief is, and how willing you are to change it.

You can also learn how to think positive and change your beliefs in a group setting. It is very powerful when done this way. You can do this is a group of friends or family. Whoever you choose to do this exercise with, just make sure they are loving and supportive. Sitting in a circle, tell the group the new belief you intend to create and have them repeat your new belief back to you. Each person can speak your belief back to you one at a time or they can say it as a group. Everyone in the group may tell you, “Brian, You are the fastest runner in the competition. You’re going to win this race.”

Keep in mind that negative and old beliefs will “defend” themselves. This resistance may show up as feelings of apathy, tiredness, deep depression, uncontrollable anger, intense fear or the feeling that you are doing something wrong, bad, false, useless, pointless or hopeless.

Sometimes you may even hit a wall or a plateau where you feel like you have made all the progress you can, and the new belief still doesn’t feel like it is the truth. When this happens, don’t give up. The real key to success in positive thinking or creating new beliefs is perseverance. Decrease the number of repetitions and give your subconscious some time to adjust to your new beliefs. Good luck.
